Drag-Drop Sortable for ActiveScaffold

Currently, this plugin is compatible with rails >= 4.0 and ActiveScaffold >= 3.3 gems.
Use 3.2.x for rails 3.x versions.

Overview

This plugin enables those slicker-than-snot ajax drag-drop sortable elements on your active-scaffold page, with so little configuration you almost get it for free.

Installation

You’ll need at least ActiveScaffold 3.x to use this, and rails 4.x

gem install active_scaffold_sortable

Usage

Step 1

Create a model with a column named ‘position’:

# app/models/entry.rb

# id           integer
# title        string(255)
# birthday     date
# position     integer

Step 2

Add acts_as_list to the model.


class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_list # this line
end

You can skip adding acts_as_list to the model, but you will have to enable sortable in the controller.

# app/controllers/entries_controller.rb

class EntryController < ApplicationController
  active_scaffold :entries do |config|
    config.actions << :sortable
    config.sortable.column = :position
  end
end
